The Meaning of Life
(and other such nonsense)
The search for meaning is fraught with paradox. On the one hand, it is a noble pursuit, a need to understand and align with higher purpose. On the other hand, it is also nonsense, vanity, a desperate desire to neatly package the raging chaos that is life into boxes.
My first book. A collection of essays written between 2010 - 2014.
Written to mark and honor a time of my life that was filled with much existential dread, questioning, searching and wrestling. A time when it felt like I was swimming in my subconscious, trying to rewrite my mental code.
A meditation in three parts
Part IThe Art of Being
Part IIThe Act of Creating
Part IIIThe Space in Between
Sneak peek
My father is an avid reader, so I grew up in a house full of books. On long boring hot holiday afternoons in my childhood, between exhausting bouts of playtime and afternoon cartoons at 4pm, I liked picking up random books to get lost into. For birthdays as a teen in boarding school, I usually got 3 or 4 new books, not the videogames I really wanted. But those formative experiences sparked a love affair with books. They gifted me with something more important than button mashing pleasure. They opened my mind to possibilities.
In my journey to young adulthood, I became obsessed with the question of ‘how to live’. It would seem pretty easy right, like…just live. But I like to overthink things, and I like to do things well, so I’d ask myself, how should I do this life thing?
